🇺🇸 Georgia Runoff Elections 2021 Thread

Past the 0.5 recount threshold.

Well goddamn Georgia.

Despite the insurrection and a disgrace of our country today, victory was achieved. I'm very happy to be proven wrong. Now the Democrats can actually get stuff done. There's a real shot here.

And @mclay18 didn't have to go underground for 2 days.

Today was a bittersweet day. We flipped the Senate amidst a failed coup enabled by Trump's rhetoric and hangers-on.

After today, I don't think Joe Manchin will have a problem eliminating the filibuster.

I also note that the more progressive of the two Dem candidates won his election by twice the margin of his more centrist, establishment Dem colleague... Coincidence I think not!

Eh...

Warnock's opponent was the far easier to beat one being someone with no real support who was appointed.

Ossoff, former intern for John Lewis I might add, faced an actual incumbent and all that entails including support that carries over from election to election.

Ossoff had also recently lost an election.

Yes he will.

For all of his stupidity, Perdue was the more formidable candidate.

I believe they both won because Trump wasn't on the ballot and was more worried about himself than maintaining party control of the senate. Good. I'll take it.

Plus he was obsessed with why he had lost Georgia and antagonizing voters and elected officials. He was FIRING up mad Democratic voters and voters who sat out 11/3 because they thought Trump would win the state.

I think Warnock will probably win a full term in 2022.

 

[mclay18]

Yes he will.

I really don't know about that.

and I don't know about that.

You watch. Manchin will not allow the filibuster to be abolished. I heard him talk about it and, while this could push him in that direction, he was VERY emphatic. I think he called it radical or something like that.

 

[Sithborg]

Frankly, Warnock is a very good candidate, compared to Ossoff.

Also, remember when he is running for re-election, Stacey Abrams will also likely be on the ticket.

It's currently just above 41K or 1% with just about everything counted. Each 4K votes count for about .1% of the vote. Perdue could get every outstanding vote (not gonna happen and Ossoff's lead will in all likelihood grow) and still not win.

Has he conceded yet?

Of course not, PA State House just proved you could throw a tantrum and not seat a duly elected official over a non-concession.

Any Georgians, or people who know more than I do, know when GA will certify the votes?

EDIT: Sounds like it will be a week or two.

 

[Lily Adler]

So again running on Progressive policies won in the end. Defund the Police did not alienate voters this time it emboldened them.

Governor Abrams here we come.

Hopefully David Dumb Dumb follows suit soon.

State board has 10 days (1/15), SoS has up to a week thereafter (1/22)

Yeah. I looked that up, but they seem to think it'll be a little earlier than that.
